Guest: singer Amanda Ply.

Amanda Ply was born December 19, 1986 and raised in Oak Park, California. Her parents took notice early on of her ability to play piano after she would hear songs at church, come home and play them. With 10 years of classical piano instruction, she graduated high school and pursued a college education at USC.
Throughout college, Ms. Ply dedicated all of her free time working on songwriting and furthering her music career. Her passion for the music played a pivotal roll in her decision to become a recording artist and forgo a promising career with several music-publishing companies. While visiting The Barn, a recording studio in Old Agoura, Amanda met 30 year music industry veteran, producer/engineer Gary Lux who encouraged her to follow her dreams and become that artist. Since then, the two have worked together producing her breakout songs.
